Before you begin
You must create a Tivoli Management Project before you can create a resource model with the
wizard. Perform the following steps to create a Tivoli Management Project:
- Select File from the toolbar to display the File drop-down list.
- Select New from the toolbar to display the New pop-up list.
- Select Project to display the New Project window.
- Select Tivoli Management Project from the left field to display it in
the right field.
- Click on Tivoli Management Project in the right field to highlight the
name.
- Click Next to display the Project Name window.
- Enter a name for the project in the Project name text
box.
- (Optional) Clear the Use default check box and specify a different directory location for the project.
- Click Finish.
When you finish
You can define the resource model elements by opening the resource model
tree structure and double-clicking on the element on the left side of the
perspective, or by expanding the view and using the element tabs on the bottom
of the view.
Check the Tasks view to verify that you do not have any errors in your
resource model. If the Tasks view displays errors, correct the errors before
running the resource model. The Tasks view displays in the bottom pane of
the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder.
